What is a Web 2.0 Science Class?

A Web 2.0 Science Class is

• a knowledge-oriented environment
• a classroom where the students generate content by performing lab experiments, reading, research, and interacting with other students
• a studio where students publish, manage, and use the knowledge they generate using Web 2.0 tools
• uploading instead of downloading
• a community of collaborators, co-teachers, and co-learners

In our Science class we use

• to share information with the rest of the class
• to connect to meaningful sites on the Internet
• to display our projects

• to review material by describing pictures from class
• to build language skills
• to learn logical sequencing
• to share our discoveries

• to organize research projects
• to share information as we find it
• to gather information from many sources through web feeds
